About our non-slip bath coating in Stanley
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Stanley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Stanley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Stanley
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you work in Stanley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Stanley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
Repair or replace in Stanley?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
